Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pressure vessel technology, specifically to pressure vessel cover plates and corresponding pressure vessels. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the cover plates of pressure vessels in the chemical industry are generally connected to the vessel bodies using flange structures. This structure is not conducive to the replacement of the medium inside the pressure vessel and the maintenance of components, because it requires the disassembly of the flange bolts and nuts, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that may result in the loss of bolts and nuts. Therefore, the industry has begun to use pressure vessel cover plates with toothed or clamp-type designs. These cover plates improve the operational efficiency of production workers, facilitating timely material replacement and component maintenance within the pressure vessel. However, these pressure vessel cover plates are only suitable for pressure vessels operating at negative, normal, or high pressures. Clamp-type cover plates are generally more commonly used on high-pressure vessels with a diameter of 150mm. Currently, there is no suitable cover plate structure for pressure vessels with operating pressures exceeding 0.1MPa but less than 2.0MPa that require rapid opening. Utility Model Content

[0038] Reference Figures 1-4 The first embodiment of this utility model proposes a pressure vessel cover plate for connecting to the tank body 1 of a pressure vessel. It includes a cover plate body 201, at least four sealing devices 3 and one limiting device 4. The fixing plate 301 of the sealing device 3 is connected to the cover plate body 201, the support block 302 and the rectangular plate 303 of the sealing device 3 are connected to the tank body 1 of the pressure vessel, the mounting block 401 of the limiting device 4 is connected to the cover plate body 201, and the positioning plate 405 of the limiting device 4 is connected to the tank body 1 of the pressure vessel.
[0039] The sealing device 3 includes a fixed plate 301, a support block 302, a rectangular plate 303, a ball 304, a threaded rod 305, a nut 306, a bolt shaft 307, and a bolt pin 308. The fixed plate 301 is fixed to the side of the cover plate body 201, the support block 302 is fixed to the side of the tank body 1 of the pressure vessel, the rectangular plate 303 is fixed to the side of the tank body 1 of the pressure vessel, the bottom of the support block 302 is connected to the rectangular plate 303, the bolt shaft 307 passes through the side of the rectangular plate 303, the ball 304 passes through the circumferential surface of the bolt shaft 307, and a bolt pin 308 is provided on the other side of the rectangular plate 303. The threaded rod 305 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the ball 304. The threaded rod 305 passes through the space formed by the fixed plate 301, the support block 302, the rectangular plate 303, and the ball 304. A nut 306 is provided on the circumferential surface of the threaded rod 305 near the outer side of the fixed plate 301.
[0040] There are two of each of the fixed plate 301, support block 302, and rectangular plate 303, which are symmetrical to each other along the threaded rod 305.
[0041] The quantity of sealing devices 3 and the dimensions of threaded rods 305 are calculated using the following formula:
[0042] Fa=2ΠDgbmPc;
[0043] Fa is the clamping force of the sealing device 3, Dg is the diameter of the cover plate body 201, b is the diameter of the fixing plate 301, m is the coefficient of the fixing plate 301, and Pc is the pressure of the pressure vessel.
[0044] F = 0.785Dg2Pc, where F is the total axial force caused by internal pressure;
[0045] Wp = F + Fa, where Wp is the minimum load required for threaded rod 305;
[0046] Ap = Wp / σ, where σ is the allowable stress of the threaded rod 305 material at the design temperature, and Ap is the minimum cross-sectional area required for the threaded rod 305. The diameter d of the threaded rod 305 is determined accordingly.
[0047] N≥Ap / 0.785d2, where N is the number of sealing devices 3;
[0048] Reference Figures 5-7 The pressure vessel cover plate 2 has one or more of the following: handle 5, vent valve 6, and material viewing window 7.
[0049] When it is necessary to open the pressure vessel cover 2, first open the vent valve 6 to release the high-pressure gas until the pressure is released. Then, rotate the loose nut 306 so that the nut 306 rises to a distance twice its own thickness. Then, directly rotate the threaded rod 305 so that the nut 306 moves downward in an arc, thereby rotating the threaded rod 305 and the nut 306 away from the area between the two fixing plates 301. At this time, the nut 306 is no longer connected to the top of the fixing plate 301, so that the pressure vessel cover 2 can be opened more easily. The pressure vessel cover 2 can be opened without completely removing the threaded rod 305 and the nut 306, thereby increasing the opening speed of the pressure vessel cover 2 and realizing a quick disassembly operation. Example
[0050] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: the limiting device 4 includes a mounting block 401, a mounting plate 402, a disc 403, a support plate 404, a positioning plate 405, a limiting plate 406, a buffer device 407, and a slide rail 408. The mounting block 401 is fixedly connected to the side of the cover plate body 201. The mounting plate 402 is arranged in the middle of the mounting block 401 in a direction perpendicular to the mounting block 401. The disc 403 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 402. The support plate 404 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the disc 403. The positioning plate 405 is fixedly connected to the side of the pressure vessel tank 1. The limiting plate 406 is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning plate 405. The limiting plate 406 is connected to the tank 1 through the buffer device 407. The bottom of the limiting plate 406 is slidably connected to the slide rail 408. One end of the slide rail 408 is fixedly connected to the surface of the tank 1.
[0051] The number of mounting blocks 401 and positioning plates 405 is set to two, and they are symmetrical to each other along the vertical central axis of the limiting plate.
[0052] The cross-sectional area of the limiting plate 406 is determined by the weight of the pressure vessel cover 2, the design opening angle of the pressure vessel cover 2, and the material of the limiting plate 406.
[0053] The diameter of tank 1 is no more than 1000 mm.
[0054] Compared to Embodiment 1, the further steps of operating the device are as follows:
[0055] In this embodiment, it is necessary to determine the limiting plate 406 and the support plate 404. The design and positioning of the limiting plate 406 and the support plate 404 are crucial to the normal operation of the opening structure. The limiting plate 406 not only determines the angle of the quick-opening structure but also bears the upper weight load of the sealing device 3. The upper weight of the sealing device 3 in the equipment is Wg. When the pressure vessel cover 2 fully reaches the required opening angle, the load borne by the limiting plate 406 is the maximum design load, which can be taken as Fa=WgCOSθθ, where θ is the design opening angle of the pressure vessel cover 2. The cross-sectional area of the limiting plate 406 is bδb, where b is the width of the limiting plate 406 and δ is the thickness of the limiting plate 406. The shear stress on the limiting plate 406 is calculated according to the formula σ=Fa / bδ and must satisfy σ≤0.8σt, where σt is the allowable stress of the material used for the limiting plate 406 at room temperature.
[0056] During quick disassembly, the cover body 201 rotates, causing the mounting block 401 to rotate. The mounting block 401 rotates, causing the mounting plate 402 to rotate. The mounting plate 402 rotates the disc 403, which in turn rotates the support plate 404. At this time, the support plate 404 rotates until it contacts the limiting plate 406. The support plate 404 then pushes the limiting plate 406 to move and stretches the buffer device 407. Simultaneously, the limiting plate 406 moves away from the tank body 1 on the slide 408. This utilizes the elasticity of the buffer device 407 to buffer the impact force when the cover body 201 rotates. The elasticity of the buffer device 407 and the contact state between the support plate 404 and the limiting plate 406 can support the disc 403, mounting plate 402, mounting block 401, and cover body 201, thereby maintaining the angle of the cover body 201 after it is opened. At this time, the maximum opening angle of the cover body 201 is 103°.
[0057] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
